I (Blu) face off with a Metahuman⚡ Ep2

Blu wants to harness the power of the Metahumans to look realistic for his audience but it turns out not so simple! This is definitely a metaphoric episode that parallels reality ;P
Episode 02 - Metahuman infusion
This episode is an homage to the Metahuman team at Epic Games for bestowing their insane digital human artistry & tech on us mortals. I think fusing Blu with metahuman magic made all the difference in his relatability to an audience. And Blu's pain & struggle to harness this awesomeness was a fun approximation to the real suffering I (Cory) faced while trying to actually do it... Metahumans are not so simple (80%) ;P
*Not sure if it's important to mention but this content is not endorsed by Epic.

Stepping it up yet again! Keep it going dude! The word will get out about what you’re doing and more will come your way.

[@aidans9010]

I am one of those people the word got out to!

[@raphasage]

Yeah, this may lead to tech revolution in digital media!

[@GlitchVR]

Blown away once again! Everything about this is a masterpiece! :D

[@aperson2943]

First of all, this needs more views. Secondly, *JUST LOOK AT THIS!!!* This was done by *ONE* guy. Do you know how long this would have taken 5 years ago? How many people? How much processing power? We are extremely lucky to live in a time like this. These programs have been around for a while, but with the inclusion of Metahumans I think we might have basically closed the gap between Hollywood, and the average low, to no budget creator. If one guy could do something like this, Hollywood should be shaking in their boots.

[@xanaduBlu]

You said it man and I couldn't agree more, we're living in a sweet spot of potential & possibilities! I also agree I need more views!!! 😜 I appreciate the rad comment ⚡👊

[@fotisxevgenis]

@@xanaduBlu give it a little more time. You blowing up is inevitable ,but its even better to have more videos out so the new audience can binge watch them . The Algorithm loves binging.

[@devrynrick1530]

I agree need more content I’ll be finished without the hour. I’m hooked.

[@notinajaronmars]

Well written. I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@v1nigra3]

Best insightful comment here for sure

I wish this could have been a real tv show when I was a teen. I'm glad i found it now.

[@UVbabyy]

You are going to be a pioneer of the Metaverse! Thank you for all your work

[@bearlyphased]

For this to not have any animation... this is insane. All real time without animation... wow

[@FaddyVFX]

Best Episode soo far!!

[@MikeDamazo]

[@WillLianti]

[@allcool27gaming]

I really liked the part at 4:00 you feel emotions and a connection with the character. Still can’t get over how realistic and beautiful this show is. Similar animations are only demos or are very short and I keep forgetting that this is real. This is like nothing else out there. I can’t wait to see more

[@xanaduBlu]

Great work, as usual! I can't wait to see more....and tips? He'll yeah! Keep it up!

[@bobhawkey3783]

Astonishing. I hope you get a huge contract with a major production company!

[@notinajaronmars]

Who needs the production company. Lol. As this production already is it's more than enough to have a massive following. Besides it's way more impressive this way. Don't over-produce yourself - you can keep full control of your creation if you stay independent and small as you are now. "Just 1 dude."

[@dilfill]

Wow this is fantastic unbelievable keep it up!

[@meganward3072]

Now this is content creation at it's most futuristic XD I love your character so much he is so cool! Enjoying the shit out of this.

[@mitchcarley]

Wow!!! Cory - agreed with all - fantastic...visual is getting better and better and better - storyline, fantastic!...a new fan. Please keep Blu's domination in the works )

[@WakingUniverseTV]

You are an inspiration dude. Seriously. I look forward to any tips.

[@alkebulansclan8802]

[@orderanycars101]

I love this, the theme, plot, characters, the storyline is funny and remarkable! Awesome work, creativity is simplistically complex♥️
